Chip-scale laser controls trapped ions for quantum clocks and qubits, enabling portable, scalable systems with high fidelity ...

In an ongoing effort to bring quantum science out of the tightly controlled lab environment and into the field, researchers ...

For years, Saturn made no sense. Measure its rotation rate using radio signals from its aurora and you get one number. Use the planet’s gravity field and you get another. Worse still, the ...

Their mass is extremely low, but how light are neutrinos really? A collaboration comprising German and international research groups has optimized its experiments to determine the mass of these "ghost ...

Scientists have set a new record for superconductivity at normal pressure, bringing the field closer to practical, real-world applications.

With a new lab-based experiment, researchers in the UK and France have recreated the characteristic cascades of energy and angular momentum that underpin key features of Earth's atmosphere. Reporting ...

This shrimp is no bigger than your thumb, and it’s a master of physics. Here’s how it manages to create shockwaves and flashes of light hotter than the Sun.

Modern physics suggests distance may emerge from motion, gravity and quantum entanglement, not exist as a basic fact. (CREDIT: NASA, ESA, Z. Levay and R. van der Marel/STScI, T. Hallas, and A.

After the passing of physicist Anthony Leggett, columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan remembers their personal connection with ...

Air was once the quiet partner of cooling systems; now, it’s being pushed into a role it was never built for, and the physics of how servers breathe, draw, and expel that air ...

Using x-ray lasers, researchers at Stockholm University have been able to determine the existence of a critical point in ...
